HIGH 8.6EPSS 0.27%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Certain Draytek products are affected by Insecure Configuration. This affects AP903 v1.4.18 and AP912C v1.4.9 and AP918R v1.4.9. The setting of the password property in the ripd.conf configuration file sets a hardcoded weak password, posing a security risk. An attacker with network access could exploit this to gain unauthorized control over the routing daemon, potentially altering network routes or intercepting traffic.
